The back-story

“Hello my dear” Mr Caroll said to me as I entered his cafe in Silver Street, “How can I help you? Are you lost?”

“Yes I am” I replied “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”

“Well little girl, that depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”

“I don’t much care where –”

“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.”

I paused… Mr Caroll seemed quite strange and possibly mad, and of one thing I was certain, I didn’t want to be seen talking to mad people.  Let me tell you there are enough mad people in Ironopolis City to fill several lunatic asylums, and they always seem to think that imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality!

As if reading my thoughts Mr Caroll said “We’re all mad here you know. I’m mad. You’re mad.”

“How do you know I’m mad?” I said with some indignation, taking a seat at a table in the window.

“You must be,” said the shop-keeper, “or you wouldn’t have come here, but let me tell you something, the best people usually are!  Would you like something to eat and drink?”

I thought about this, and after contemplating Mr Caroll’s ginger striped cat that had inexplicably appeared and curled up on my shoulder, I said “why not?  You would have to be half mad to dream this up.”

So, against my better judgement I sat down for tea and cake with Mr Caroll at his small, impossibly angled coffee-house, in Silver Street, in a small suburb of Ironopolis City… little realising my journey into strangeness was only beginning.
